Okay, so the fact that they were strategizing a retreat in response to his call for more firepower was... not good. Hanako already figured the squirt wouldn't be able to help due to the defensive nature of her abilities, but if even Chaosbringer and this other Dreamer were tapping out...
Still, if his last Excursion had taught him anything, it was that it was better to throw in the towel the moment things got out of hand, as opposed to riding it out and getting others killed for his trouble. Gritting his teeth, he follows Chaosbringer's command, sidling up against the other three to help form a pocket of defense. If Hanako's a bit ill at ease for being so close to his thunder powers, he doesn't let it show on his face, trying to keep his focus on the ever changing tactics and commands happening amidst the chaos.
"It's Hanako," he supplies quickly to Sudo's misnomer, opting to side-step any faux indignation he'd usually give at people not knowing his name, because... well, this wasn't the time. He wasn't even sure of this other Dreamer's name himself (even though, now that he got a better look at them, they were actually pretty cool looking, in a creepy, horror-movie-esque way), but hopefully there would be time for better introductions once they got out of here... if they got out of here, anyway. He nods sharply at their instructions, however, gesturing for his Hakujoudai to return to his side and eyeing the Torments already looking to take advantage of their brief lull of action.
"Got it, though."
Now that they were all collectively in agreement, he resumes his attack, though their limited stations made things just a bit trickier to maneuver. Instead of bringing the offense towards the creatures themselves, he had to wait until they came close enough to stab or strike, a terrifying prospect when he didn't have as much room as usual to dodge. Still, he uses his Hakujoudai to their full capabilities when he can, urging them to pummel back the creatures until they either fell in Chaosbringer's line of damage or were far enough away that they couldn't be an immediate threat. The Torments were much too strong for him to take out in a single hit with them, so this was the best he could do to protect their flanks as they managed to make their retreat.
